Day 8, 8:00-9:00 PM

Renee says she's doing okay now. But if this is "okay," then I'd hate to think what that "rough patch" might have been like.

Arlo was sick the day CTU's H.R. department covered sexual harassment conduct.

President Hassan is supposed to arrive back at the U.N. in 10 minutes; it turns out to be the fastest 10 minutes ever on 24.

Hassan must have hair-wranglers than check him every moment he's not on screen.

These two Russian brothers have curiously conflicting accents.

"Dammit, Renee!" (Drink!)

I understand it's good for the plot for Vladimir's goon to be suspicious of Renee. Still, his argument is that when Renee showed up, 16 months later, they got shut down. That's like 475 seasons or so.

Dirtbags multiply in Dana/Jen's apartment.

They're gonna kill Renee. "Dammit!" (Drink!)

Hastings made a decision on the spot, without regard to covering his ass, and accepting Jack's recommendation? What the hell happened to him during the first 50 minutes of this episode that we didn't get to see?

"Dammit!" (Drink!)

Well, it was a three drink week, and at least the Walker/Bauer storyline has enough juice to make up for the other stuff that isn't quite clicking yet. We'll see what's in store next week (hour).

hmm, 2 million bucks for a thumb? he was doing pretty good all episode considering he just got his thumb cut off. my favorite part of this show is how it usually treats things as "real" so when a guy with no thumb is having normal conversations, it bothers me...

WTF Dana/Jen is like a convicted accessory to murder? Are they trying to establish her computer hacking skills? because she would certainly have to be some kind of programming sorceress to fabricate a completely clean background to get hired by CTU. (oh wait, nevermind this is CTU afterall...) I guess it's "different" than a full-on, bad-guy-planted mole, but it's still very uncomfortable to accept.

just for a moment I thought they would really kill Renee, to remind us what show we are watching.

and Hassan's scumbag brother had the best episode ever. why didn't they show some of that subplot? oooh-right! giggidy giggidy!

the mole

Not that I condone sexual harassment, but if Starbuck is going to wear her little black cocktail dress to work, she should expect to get some grief.
